	Chef and Proprietor Joel Miller has been cooking in and managing kitchens for the last fifteen years. He began his culinary career in the kitchens of Maxwell's, Automatic Slim's, and Another Roadside Attraction in Memphis before attending Johnson and Wales Culinary Academy in Charleston, South Carolina. After graduating, Joel moved to New Orleans, where he served as a pastry chef under Chef Frank Brunacci at Victor's in the Ritz Carlton Hotel. From there, his combined experiences landed him the enviable position of Sous Chef at the Inn on the Blue Horizon in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Joel then returned to Memphis, where he worked as Sous Chef and Front House Manager at the Beauty Shop Restaurant in the Cooper-Young district. Most recently, he served as the General Manager and Wine Buyer for Catch in San Francisco, where he expanded and refined the restaurant's already extensive wine list and implemented a wine education program. Joel, his wife Cori, and their newborn son Henry recently moved back to the South to be near family, where they are excited to open their first restaurant, ravine. They are looking forward to sharing their hearts and home with their new neighbors in Oxford.
